rKG NEWS owes the influence it exerts
among the people. In our news columns
this morning we treat the water question
in this liberal spirit. We confess that we
see nothing yet to change our opinion, al
ready expressed, that the distribution of
the water is public trust that should not
be given into the care of private corpora
tons; and what our reporters have learned
for our readers to-day, convinces us more
firmly even than at the start, that we
should at least go slow in the matter. The
particulars we give elsewhere furnish no
answer, in our view, to the great question.
why Jersey City should not continue to
supply her own p eople with water; but we
are forced to confess that many interest
ing details that might shed much light on
the subject are yet wanting. They are not
presented for the simple reason that
they were found to be inaccessible. AT
the same time the facts presented else
where will serve our readers measurably
well, as guides in directing their enquiries,
if not in reaching conclusions.

What does the Trenton State Gazette
mean by accusing Walters of having brok-
en- his word by yoting.in Joint Meeting for
Leon Abhett The only inference from
the statement is that the Republicans
thought they had made deal to keep Mr..
Walters in his seat on condition that he
would vote for some one else. 1t is mag
nifcent commentary on the excrucia ting
honesty of that side of the house that
having damned the Democrats up hill and
down dales Cor, as they say, having stolen
a seat in the Assembly chamber, they try
to bride the unlawfuily seated man into
voting with them; and get doubly mad
when he repudiates their offers and stands

Governor Abbett's array in the Senatorial
fight shows no sign of wagering at any
point. Every man in his lines is known to
be his loyal supporter; and even if he
should be defeated, the gallant IS will go
down to local fame with the 306 that won a
wide renown by the valor with which they
held the ramparts for General Grant in the
National Republican Convention in 1876.
They are there to stay, and the ballots will
be cast for Leon Albeit first, last and all
the time. The men who have not yet acted
With them will join the ranks in course of
lime, and help to wrap the Senatorial toga
about his shoulders. Throckm orion, Chat
lie, Mcbride, Chase are all men Of con-
spicuous talent and integrity, with ambi-
tions to be gratifed, and they cannot afford
to help wrest the sceptre from the hands of
their party. Their return to the ranks will
be followed by the return of Kinney, who
will find it uncomfortable to be out in the
cold alone; and the only remaining vote
needed will be cast probably by one of
the Labor Assemblymen. Those who are
predicting Abbett's defeat as the outgrowth
of existing complications are counting with
out their host They are enemies of his
whose wish is father to their thought.
The Sewell front of thirty five seems, on
the surface, to be as firm and unbroken as
Abbett's; but many of them are in the ra nks
with the severest confidence that Sewell
cannot win, and with the hope that their
own loyalty to his colors may bring his
friends to the solid support of another
standard bearer whom they hope to spring
on the Joint Convention at an opportune
moment. We ere waiting impatiently for
the little picture of manufactured enthus-
iasm that will hail the name of Congress-
men William Walter Phelps, when it is
proposed to the Joint Convention. 1t will
rot be put out till the future is ripe for it,

receive it with storm of shouts and cheers

ularity But we have no fear Of any Dem
ocrat being taken off his feet by the dem

colors, and in the end honor the State and
constitue ncies they represent by sending
man of their own faith to the United States

American Cotton Docks, at Tompkinsyille,
Staten Island, which was caused by light

though under the control of the fremen.
Soon after l o'clock this morning the fire
spread to the adjoining warehouse, No. g.,

An advertisement was inaerted by John
Court, Jr., ia worthless local sheet, yes
terday, cautioning the public against trust
ing his wife Nellie because she had left his
bed and board A SUNDAY MORNING News
reporter endeavored, without success, to find
Mr.. Court, Jr., but found his father, who
lives on Grand street. The reporter CLEAN
ed from him that his daughter-in-law was
addicted to drink and in the habit of going
on an occasional spree. While On
one of her srrees last Tuesday she
left her husband for parts un-
known to him. Mr.. Court. Sr., further
stated that his son was married about
year ago, when he was but twenty years of
age. He objected to the marriage, on ac-
count of his sons youth and because he
considered his expected daughter-in- law
below his sons station. But young Court
persisted in marrying the girl, although his
salary WIS only six dollars week. Mr..
Count, ST., became reconciled to the mar
riage and did all he could to make the
couple comfortable, but the habits of his
daughter-in-law Disguised him, and he sew
cred all communication with her family
1t also appears that the girls parents were
displeased with the marriage, because their
daughter was a Catholic and her husband
was Protestant.

SIX Policemen ana a paralyzcd leg

John Murphyliy at No. 181 Newark
avenue. John is good fellow, but
drinks glass of beer occasionally, and in
consequence gets excited. Last night
John felt particularly happy on account
of an addition to his family which had
been made during the day, and he very
rashly drank two whole glasses of beer
The result was a very bad case of par
alyzed leg, and it took six policemen, a
Sergeant and, according to the latter,
three hundred thousand spectators to get
him to the station house, where he was
slowed away in cell to spend Sunday.

What Happened Between Timess

Just after the Bartlett water scheme
had been approved by the Board of Works
the journal, January 27th, said this, edl-
torially, about it:
The Aldermen were right in expressing their
disapproval of the proposal of the Board of Works
to bind this city to take its water supply from pr
vate corporation. Alderman Gator was right in his
position. We do not believe that great cities. like
this should be dependent on any individual or
corporation for water supply, nor do we believe
that If carried to the courts of last resort it would
be held that any Legislature or other power, can
grant to any corporation individual the right to
shut off the natural sources of water supply from
the peoples use, to authorize any one to monop-
lie and control such supply. The cities of this
section Of New Jersey should unite for their own
protection. and for the procuring of supply of
pnre water independent of any private corpora
ton.
On February 10th the Journal published
an editorial discouraging all attempts on
the part of the city to secure water on its
own account and booming the Bartlett
scheme for al it was worth. At the
opening of this editorial we ask what hap
pened TO the ''Maiah' between these two
dates. No one who knows what kind of
man the "Mejah" is will require us to
find the answer to the question-he will
find the answer for himself.

it goes without saying, was all that could

10 OYEn-R1DE TIE VETO.



WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The report of the
House Committee on Invalid Pensions was
presented to the House this afternoon.
The report unanimously favors the passage
of the bill over the veto. The Democrats
who wished to sustain the veto desired that
the report should not be printed in the
Record" and that there should be delay
But the Democratic leaders showed marvel
lous ignorance of parliamentary procedure,
as result Of which the Republicans forced
the reading of the report. The report was
very long and required more than an hour
to read it. Passages criticising the Execu-
tive we're applauded. After the report was
read, the House decided to postpone further
consideration until Thursday next. The
leaders who seek to sustain the veto at first
opposed this, bat on rising vote the vote
to postpone was yeas 1871, nays 81. There
was disposition on the part of this small
minority to filibuster, but the tactics were
soon changed, and the bill went over with
out further opposition. This vote is, of
course, not test of the strength of the
bill as against the veto; but it is very evil
dent that the friends of the bill have great
confidence, and that the supporters of the
veto have growing apprehension as to the
result. The delay is due to belief on
both sides that their representative votes
will thereby be strengthened.
